Ice Caves!
















Last weekend we went to the Shoshone Ice Caves! It was fun. It's a little mama & papa tourist trap. The boys really liked it! To be under the ground in a lava tube was awesome. It is a whopping 28* in the cave. It was maybe 65* outside Saturday. They say it stays 28-32* in the lave caves, even if it's 100* outside. They had pumps going to the cave to pump out new water, if they didn't the cave would fill with water and freeze. That's why there are layers of frozen pennies in the water. Lava Caves are amazing. The walls look shimmery with frost on them. The scary hanging bridge was iced over and slick. The Lava tubes can be seen all over that area, now that we know what they are.
We went to a little mama & papa restaurant on the way back home. It puts DQ to shame. We ordered small cones for the boys they were taller then there faces. We ordered medium cones for ourselves they had a foot of ice cream piled on that little cone.
They were HUGE!
